I am ALSO in the "No" camp.

Kids needs to learn "appropriateness". Something so few learn anymore. They know legal and illegal (well, some of them) but no one tells them you sit and behave at the dinner table. You don't make noises, interrupt, etc. Another word for it is consideration. The world could do with a LOT more of that. This is why (IMHO) you have jackass teenagers in a mall situation or at the movie theater dropping F bombs around people like it is nothing, spitting on the ground, etc.
